Looking for advice/direction

New Grad interview, 900 miles away, expensive...HELP
It sounds like you made them believe that you are moving there OR it wouldn't be a big deal to drive that far for an interview. I would suck it up and just do the face to face interview as scheduled. If you call them back and ask for a phone interview, they'll just throw your resume in the trash and call up somebody who lives closer. Sorry - that's just a fact!
-
Scheduling - 6 days on, 8 days off
Oh, I would love to have a schedule like that. I thought it was common to work five days in a row, not four? Somebody come back in and lemme know what's going on...?

Physically threatened by family member
These stories make me glad I was raised by a bunch of lawyers lol. Long story short, tell whoever it is in your meeting that you want an attorney present with you. This will either: get them off your back, or delay the inevitable. As long as you documented everything and have witnesses, you will be good to go. I think all nurses should be required to take a course in Introduction to law and legal process and/or law and ethics. Knowledge is power my friend -

Considering nursing
Please excuse Prudence and Agatha - they get grumpy when some new face wants to know about becoming a nurse. Anyway - nursing is a great field to get into. If you think you can hang, I say go for it.

Another vent, need to let it out
Your "friends" who "barely work" make over 6 figures a year? Please tell me more when you get a chance, because my friends, who are engineers, work their butts off and barely pull in 70k a yr. And they HATE their job btw!

Should I become a CNA while I'm taking my 2 years of prerequisites for RN School?
Depends on if you like hurtin' ya back and wipin' butts all day? All kidding aside - if you can find a free CNA course, take it! After you get certified, you can go work at a hospital and make some money.
